Frequently Asked Questions

Furniture transfers (also known as furniture decals, decor transfers or run-on transfers) are an easy way to apply a beautiful design to a painted or non-painted surface.

Wait at least 24-48 hours, depending on the type of paint you’re using and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
